napoleon vs neopolitan icecream maybe ?

yeah, Bretton-Woods - was so much more about a broader scope of bank regulation - to try control and stabilise investment and capital creation for the good of domestic businesses (ideally small businesses) across all international members of B-W.

Throwing all that regulation away - essentially led to over-concentration of unregulated financial power with little to no incentive (or requirement) for them to work in the domestic interests - all the great stuff that comes from that (and it really is great - for some people).
Couple that with the small govt-ism that came in in the late 70s and there's not even a state investment sector to prop up growth during recessions.

Its one of those things where they experiment with something really important and before it's even been tested for long enough, they whip out the safety net.
"We won't need that anyway once the banks are deregulated - they'll fly in and catch us when we fall - they're very fine people ." At least they'll catch us for long enough to sort out foreclosure/eviction and make sure borrowers take all the risk of asset price movement.

Pretty much jack-all to do with gold - that was done with in the 20s pretty much in all but name.

I don't do anything if it's not shiny and made by apple

Is it that wierd little box thing that you have to take out of your smoke alarm to stop it beeping?

Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

TL;DR there was a backdoor found in the XZ program. All major distros have been updated but it is recommended that you do a fresh install on systems that are exposed to the internet and that had the bad version of the program. Only upstream distros were affected.

Navy , especially subs has to contend with mega sharks quite regularly; it'll only become more common with climate change too.

Someone tried "April & Bob" once, but MS excel converted it to date.

More boringly , maybe its selection on the circumstances too. For example maybe ev's tend to drive more in urban environments, more urban may mean more collision opprtunities per time spent driving.

Of course ram is a farmers vehicle is desgned for rural use, so must rarely be seen in built up areas. /s

edit: having glanced at the cited article - theres no obvious mention of any risk adjustment, the measures seem to be simple ratio of crashes per driver. No obvious control for whether the sub-population spend more or less time driving.
Rate per - place-specific-risk adjusted person-hour would work better.

As often with things like risk, it really helps to be able to do a multidimensional analysis. See if vehicle type/brand is significant after controlling for as many circumstantial factors and exposure related factors as you can reliably observe.

oo1,

stackoverflow vs posting a meme.

Which one gets the best help?

I can see the appeal of the meme option.

oo1,

Of course! We should've been eating the covid victims.
That's what big Pharma didn't want us to know.

At least that'll keep them safe from being turned gay.

oo1,

break even?
makes it sound like like they're talking to investors not residents.

i dread to think how their "anslysis" works.

cant bear to do any more than skim this article though.

oo1,

I think that's the whole point of all risc - it saves power over cisc but may take longer to compute some tasks.

That'd be why things like phones with limited batteries often prefer risc.

oo1,

wtf, financial success?

Not sure i know what that is, but it seems a pretty depressing goal to have.
Could be worse though.

oo1,

a couple of raspberry pies in there too

Lauren Boebert Can’t Shake the Beetlejuice Debacle (nymag.com)

It already didn’t look great for Lauren Boebert when she got kicked out of a Denver theater for being disruptive during a performance of the Beetlejuice musical — or when video emerged of the voluble Republican congresswoman being escorted out of the theater. But that was hardly the end of this saga. A second video showed...

oo1,

you're applying logic.
you're not the target audience.

oo1,

you probably have to convince more people with those views to switch away from their other social media.

i suspect moderate conservative people are maybe more likely to stay with status quo/ monolithic / non-distributed services, so there won't be as many moving to a new looser open source thing.

like i bet linux / open source / foss users are a little bit more likely to be liberal or socialist (or DGAFs) - at least insofar as they're choosing on principles of ownership and user rights rather than affordability - its sort of linked-in to those licenses which inherently disempower the individual creator of the IP (vs say a patent) and empower the end users and people who want to reuse the IP in a different ways. That's basically a liberal ownership model vs a capitalist one - to grossly oversimply.

conservatives are maybe more likely to be buying proprietary services from microsoft, oracle, or amazon/google ( pay someone else to run your linux /postgres for you!), if they're happy eating all that shit from them, reddit is probably fine.

oo1,

yeah, people lose so much credibility when they don't even control for simple easy things.

there will always be some confounding factors, but doing rate per population, is rarely hard - andneeded over decade comparisons.

demographic risk adjustment is more complex, so i'd not expect that. but if it is at least acknowledged, then the article is more credible and will get more (of my) attention.

media (and i guess their audience) seem to enjoy hype though . . .

oh shit this is the f.t. i used to think they were among the more credible journo's. pity.
